A Siparia businessman who fell victim to crime, went in search of his stolen property and found an injured man lying next to it on Monday afternoon.

Kenton Alexander, owner of Alisha’s Variety and Culture Shop located along High Street, said after his business was broken into and items stolen, he received an anonymous call that well known homeless man was the suspect.

He said someone had pried open the galvanized roofing to the rear of the shop to gain entry and steal incense, men and ladies’ underwear, beaded chains, earrings and hand bands, copper hand bands, Ras oils and men’s slippers.
